We are introducing a new monthly policy episode series called "Science Policy in the Spotlight," where we will focus our attention on a timely and local policy topic in the greater Chicago area and understand how science helps inform the topic. This series, we're focused on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on K-12 schooling.
In the 2nd episode of this 4 episode series, we are hearing much more on the topic of risk and transmission in kids - are children really as immune to COVID-19 as the media portrays them to be? What research questions do we still need to figure out? All this and more from a pediatric infectious disease specialist, Dr. Taylor Heald-Sargent!
